The Lysistrata Project

The first-ever world-wide theatrical event for peace is coming to a city near you on Monday, March 3rd, 2003! Theatre artists from around the planet are raising their collective voice against war by producing readings of Lysistrata…

Just so’s you know, ‘Lysistrata’ is a play about an Athenian woman named Lysistrata who unites the women of Athens and Sparta (two states at war).

The women force their men (the political leaders of Athens and Sparta) to negotiate peace by going on a sexual strike.

Sounds like an idea ahead of it’s time. Barbara Bush, are you listening?
